I remember being struck by John Lewis’s courage and resolve when my kids and I stood on the Edmund Pettus bridge 25 years ago. But on the night of this pic, it was his humility and kindness that touched me. What a giant of a role model. I thanked him then. I honor him today.

@madhulikasikka @s_m_i @mitrakalita @iiwrites I created the Fellowship to both inject energy into our sourcing efforts and make a pathway for journalists to join public radio. It's hardly the only way people get in, but it's effective. Maybe you've forgotten the great NPR journalists of color who got here via a fellowship.
